The default bandwidth management policy is the one with the priority of “default”. It is the last policy
the Zyxel Device checks if traffic does not match any other bandwidth management policies you have
configured. You cannot remove, activate, deactivate or move the default bandwidth management
policy.

DESCRIPTION

Select this check box to activate management bandwidth.
Enable Highest
Bandwidth Priority
for SIP Traffic
Select this to maximize the throughput of SIP traffic to improve SIP-based VoIP call sound
quality. This has the Zyxel Device immediately send SIP traffic upon identifying it. When
this option is enabled the Zyxel Device ignores any other application patrol rules for SIP
traffic (so there is no bandwidth control for SIP traffic) and does not record SIP traffic
bandwidth usage statistics.
